1. Franchises have a higher rate of success than start-up businesses.
2. You as a franchisee don’t have to spend on marketing and promotion activities as the parent company does it for themselves.
3. You don't necessarily need business experience to run a franchise. Franchisors usually provide the training you need to operate their business model.
4. . Franchises often have an established reputation and image, proven management and work practices, access to national advertising and ongoing support.
The main reason behind choosing Royal Enfield franchisee is because of its phenomenal growth in year 2016 compared to 2015 which was 35% all over India.
In 2015 3,54,025 Enfield’s were sold, this number immensely spiked to 4,77,688 in 2016. (Source- Auto.Ndtv.com/news/royal-enfield).
Vast Market – 180 Dealers, 1oo Authorized Service Centers in India and also has roots in England and their business is spread in major countries like USA, Japan, UAE, Germany, UK, France and many others.
The brand image transformation has been successfully carried over by Indian owners after the company exited UK market back in 1967 to such a extend that Royal Enfield is now blindly known as “Indian origin” company.
